to but I won't feel a flame 

You can taunt me with your words 

but I won't feel ashamed 

You can burn your crosses down 

until the morning light 

You can burn out my brown eyes

but I won't lose my sight



You can cast at me the first stone,

I'll cast it to the floor 

You can try to clip my wings, 

over mountains I will soar 

You can wear your white satin 

robes and I will wear my pride 

And to hold me back you might 

as well hold back the morning tide 



Chorus...(x2)

With your White Gown, handed down

Fills my heart with pain 

With your White Gown, handed down

Fills you up with shame



You can offer me resistance, 

I will offer you my hand 

For a man who has lost his soul

is like the drifting sand 

You can strike me if you want to, 

I won't cause you any pain 

For as long as you don't carry 

scars I won't carry blame 



Chorus...(x2)



You can burn me if you want

to but I won't feel a flame 

You can taunt me with your

words but I won't feel ashamed 

You can think of me as running 

scared but run it from your mind 

I'll stand and look you in the 

eye until the end of time



Chorus...(x2)
